We are currently inviting applications for the post of Administrative Manager to support the activities of the Clay Mathematics Institute (CMI). This is a senior professional services role within the University of Oxford, with line management provided by the Deputy Head of Administration and Finance of the Mathematical Institute and day-to-day direction from the President of the CMI.
Renormalisation group on Lorentzian manifolds using (p)AQFT
Abstract
I will start the talk by discussing renormlisation group in perturbative algebraic quantum field theory (pAQFT) and its non-perturbative incarnation acting on the Buchholz-Fredenhagen dynamical C*-algebra. I will also explain how pAQFT can be used to derive functional renormlisation group (FRG) equations that generalize Wetterich equations to globally hyperbolic Lorentzian manifolds and arbitrary states (beyond the usual FRG in the vacuum).
